jhct Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 So i got 1 angel and then added another the 2nd one is a little bigger then the first. The smaller one cornered the big one straight away and hasnt stopped for a day cornering and nipping. :evil: Will this stop once other types of fish are added? Do i need another angel? Should i take mean one back and try another? Should i leave them as they are? :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danilada Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The same is happened to me, how are your angels now? I added a second one, and my 1st one is not liking it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 They are territorial fish - adding more will 'dilute' the amount of aggression each fish receives, but ideally you need to get one of the opposite sex. i.e. create a true pair.

How am I going to know at the LFS whether it is the opposites sex or what sex the first one is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than trying to find the opposite sex of the one you have, you may have to buy three or four new fish and wait for two to 'pair up' (then sell the others) or alternatively buy an actual (breeding) pair. It is very hard to tell opposite sexes without the fish being side by side, and then only if you know what to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
